At present, this plugin allows the user to import various raster file formats into Geoscape3d.
Specify a filename and the start position ( X, Y ) at which the data will be imported into the height map. This is useful for joining together several imports together.
If the import is larger that the present height map, then Geoscape3d will resize the height map to fit the data. If it cannot resize the height map, if you are using windowed mode, then the data will be clipped to the current size.
Formats that should be able to be imported include:
